Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

TheNameBrand The CG for its time is quite poor. Plot is super predictable, acting is way sub par, and the use of Nic Cage is minimal which is my biggest concern honestly. At any rate, It's not hard to see why it has 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I couldn't agree with them more.

cinemajesty "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" produced as kind of spin-off of a Walt Disney animated short subject from the 1940s brought to scale in production slate season 2009/2010 by Jerry Bruckheimer Films with a production budget of 150 Million U.S. Dollars, building a state of the art symbiosis between production design and computer-generated visual effects, but denies itself to find a center sequence of spectator-transcending magical matter.In that sense, the director Jon Turteltaub misses its chance to find a wide audience, giving itself to a weakly written script full of teenage-day-dreaming cliché, followed by miss-cast actor Jay Baruchel in the leading role as the apprentice. Nicolas Cage and counterpart Alfred Molina do stay best to keep face in a times physical confronting intimate scenes. Nevertheless the subject matter gives it away, leaving the first-rate actors no space to unfold improvisations, which might have done the trick to keep the movie last in the spectator's mind.One hundred minutes running time without credits has been well paced by editor William Goldenberg. But once again suspensions gets lost by eye-popping product placements for ice cream, soda, cell phones and premium cars - in times of sky-high-scaled production budgets, unfortunately still of matter. Nevertheless screenwriters and directors alike need to learn ways to capture those advertisements in a subconscious way in order to fulfill scene suspension requirements.What is left of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" seven years after its initial release is the charming homage to Mickey's broomstick scene from Walt Disney's Production of "Fantasia (1940)".

leo_kade Nicolas Cage cant act and he ruins every movie he has ever been in! Ben Affleck is way worse but I'm sure the list could go on for a very long time. Wish he hadn't destroyed the sorcerers apprentice! WOW and I have to write more about how this guy sucks plays no emotions as I have to have so many words to post... ill say it again he sucks at acting! holy they want ten lines of text.... hopefully this works... because I don't know how to write anything more... about how much he sucks... also ghost rider was destroyed by him! I wont waste my time watching season of the witch because it looks to painful. Doubt I will waste another minute of my life watching a movie with him in it!

Python Hyena The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010): Dir: Jon Turteltaub / Cast: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, Toby Kebbell: About as much fun as chewing on shards of glass. It regards the smaller factors making bigger impacts but unfortunately this film should make an impact into someone's fireplace. Nicolas Cage plays a sorcerer who recruits heir Jay Baruchel, a physics major trying to reclaim his life after their first encounter. Plot regards a layer doll that acts as a prison to demonic figures who will escape and wreck havoc. Director Jon Turteltaub is at his worst and that is unfortunate for someone who made such entertainment as The Kid and While You Were Sleeping. The special effects are terrible and are about as fetching as a sh*t stain outhouse. Cage looks ridiculous with that stupid hat on. They should have called him Bozo the clown for all the seriousness he brought to the material. Baruchel's dialogue consists of pitiful wails and throwing out one-liners about self pity and other emotions that fail to make this crap entertaining. Alfred Molina is typecast as a demon who materializes out of a collectors item and wrecks havoc. Teresa Palmer as potential girlfriend to the Apprentice is a joke. She just happens to have a grand attitude about all of this while making it plenty convenient that she only wants adventure. Cage has not had it easy at this time, and starring in films this stupid is not exactly helping his cause. Easily one of the worst films of the year with a large degree of nonsense. It is a Hollywood spell that fails fast and should be blow torched into nothingness. Score: 1 / 10
